Dual-link DVI cards?

I finally managed to get my hands on a nice high res LCD display. Unfortunately, I'm having a heck of a time finding a video card with dual-link DVI that's affordable. I hate to have to chose between single-link DVI but low refresh rate, or analog w/ decent refresh.

The best so far I've found is the Best Data GF4-Ti4200 8x - although I'd like something with a bit better performance. None of the ATI cards appears to have dual-link DVI, and the only other cards seem to be the Quadro's.

Anybody know of a card using either the ATI 9500/9700 chipset or a GF4800 / GFX chipset that has dual-link?

Thanks!
 
That looks like 2 single-link connectors to me - I only see 2 transceiver chips from the board photo.

I need 1 dual-link connector to drive a QXGA LCD - the other head can be VGA or single-link DVI for all I care.
 
I would guess that Matrox makes something that fits your needs. Check out the Multi-Monitor series. Parhelia should work as well.
 
I thought about Parhelia, but its performance is a bit disappointing, especially for the price. I'd rather stick with an nvidia or ati card if possible.

MSI's FX5800 Ultra has one (according to the manual). Maybe I'll wait until the FX series gets affordable.
